19 - man squad for Castleford. : Wed Apr 18, 2018 11:09 am  

Wigan Warriors have today named the 19-man squad for Friday’s huge Betfred Super League game with Castleford Tigers.
Wigan host the Tigers in the first meeting between the pair in 2018.

Ben Flower comes back into the squad after missing last week’s game with concussion and takes the place of Gabe Hamlin.

Tom Davies has yet to overcome an ankle injury so is ruled out. Morgan Escaré retains his place in the squad after being 18th man against Leeds.

Wigan Warriors 19-Man Squad
John Bateman, Joe Burgess, Tony Clubb, Morgan Escaré, Liam Farrell, Ben Flower, Oliver Gildart, Willie Isa, Tommy Leuluai, Liam Marshall, Romain Navarrete, Sean O’Loughlin, Sam Powell, Dan Sarginson, Ryan Sutton, Taulima Tautai, Joel Tomkins, Sam Tomkins, George Williams

I'd have Sarginson and Navarette missing out, but guessing it'll be Escare and Navarette

It’s good to be wondering who will miss out rather than who will be fit to play.

If I was choosing the 17 this week, I’d leave Tautai and Sarginson out.

Tomkins
Marshall
Bateman
Gildart
Burgess
Williams
Powell
Flower
Leuluai
Clubb
Farrell
Isa
O’Loughlin

Tomkins
Sutton
Navarette
Escare

it will be interesting to see which way Wane goes, does he stick to the Escare impact role, he was out of sorts v Saints but was sick that week and suffered a knock during the game. Opportunity to go for 4 forwards on the bench. We never had our strongest team out v Cas last year. it will be interesting to see how the sides match up friday. it would be good to see D Powell dummy spitting again, the bloke does not seem to like Wigan .
